Hondas are a little more expensive, but the total cost of ownership is very low. Hyundai SUVs are very popular these days, but I don't know much about their maintenance record.
  12:21pm
Dean:

Thanks, UM, but I'm really looking for a vehicle comprising all three benefits. Yeah, used is an option.

Thought of Subaru, too, VP, but 1) the local dealer is also a Ford dealer and I'm sick and tired of them , and 2) I don't live in Oregon or Washington.

Pickup won't work, βrian, unless I relegate the kids to the bed where they can roll around.

Great advice, all. Thank you. Keep it coming!

Exactly what my auto repair person told me, UM.

Good idea, TC. There's a dealership just blocks from our house.

Volvos aren't bargains.

I'd recommend VW but for two things. Most of the dealers are shitheads (not all...you might be lucky) and parts are EXPENSIVE.

SUVs are always a good choice. You can seat 4 or 5, and also haul around all the associated kid gear.
  12:26pm

Also thinking a Harley with a sidecar for the kids. But then I'd have to invest in leathers and get tattoos.

Maybe a horse? But I need one with get-up-and-go. Any chance I can find a 200HP horse?

Hyundai was OK - drove a Genesis (fantastic) and a Santa Fe, but I discovered their financing tactics were down-right criminal, so never again with them.

cool thing about the Cross Trek is it has more of a car footprint to it than a larger SUV. Plus, their add campaign features dogs driving them, so what's not to like?

On the subject of cars: I'm currently driving a very well-cared-for, 20-year-old automobile that, I sense, is getting ready to give up the ghost. Just hoping the most recent thousand dollar repair gets us through the summer voyages (mostly to and from camp). I've learned to ignore the "engine oil low" and "check coolant" warnings, as they are not accurate, but the recent appearance of "brake light circuit" did give me pause.

Dean:

Can't get started in the pre-PG/post-PG Genesis dispute, nor the Yes/solo matter. My tastes tend to be conservative. But Hillage: as Cw-e notes, FR is pretty much a Gong album, and one listens to Gong for Gong, Hillage for Hillage. Khan remains masterful. The solo albums are hit-miss, but the recent issues of live shows from the '70s are killer. I also enjoy System 7.

HGM was on L.

not taking anything away from Gabriel, or Banks, mind you - it's just that Hackett was a cornerstone in the compositional element; it's obvious to hear the slide after "Wind and Wuthering"...though I dig "And Then There Where Three" and "Duke"...the challenging musical element (to my ear, at least) started waning after Steve's departure...

@Tony Yeah, some Canterbury scene purists don't want to talk about Spirogyra, see them as a separate entity whose only link to Canterbury was a geographical one (whereas Egg, National Health, etc. had no direct geographical links but are considered quintessentially "Canterbury"). But Barbara Gaskin went on to sing with Hatfield and the North, and Geoffrey Richardson from Caravan was briefly in late-period Spirogyra, so they were definitely part of the soup...

Well, actually, they're a problem *off* the GG Bridge (which I can see when I step outside my office).

There is a St. Radigunds Road down in Dover. She was popular in these parts!

Richard Sinclair from Caravan used to show up for jams and parties at the Spirogyra house, and Martin C recently caught up with him in Italy. A couple of members of Spirogyra ended up in one of his bands before he left England. And his first (unrecorded) band post Hatfield was called "Sinclair and the South" (Bruford was involved in one gig). OK, enough of this Canterbury scene geek-out, i'm going to sit back and enjoy this Curtis Mayfield!

I distinctly remember wandering into Middle Earth Records in Downey, CA, while National Health was playing over the system, pre-first album. The clerks identified the band to me and indicated Bruford was drumming. Must have been an early tape. Middle Earth was, so the story goes, the home of Amazing Korneyfone.

Hah. Skunkworks!

@βrian: You're following the line of the old city wall. The old Northgate used to arch over the street between Skunkworks and The Jolly Sailor. Further down was the 19th century red-light district (closest to the military barracks), disreputable music halls, etc. Now it's just drunk students...

The Jolly Sailor has a U.S. flag in the corner window. I'm perplexed.

I think there was some kind of 4th of July themed event (with a bluegrass band, etc.)

They have a Fourth of July in England?

@βrian: Indeed, Canterbury's great for cycling. All kinds of quirky shortcuts, etc. And a nightmare to drive around, according to my driving friends. Medieval walled cities just aren't very car-compatible.
